FOR THE CHURCH AT WITTENBERG [FORMULA MISSAE ET COMMUNIONIS PRO ECCLESIA WITTEMBERGENSIS] 1523 FORMULA MISSAE ET COMMUNIONIS 1523 INTRODUCTION Nicolaus Hausmann, pastor primarius of the Marien­ kirche at Zwickau and a most devoted friend of Luther, had written repeatedly to him requesting advice and direction in matters connected with church worship. One of these requests had been for an order for saying mass which would conform with the principles of the movement in which they both were so <leeply concerned. Luthre had replied more or less promptly to all of Haus­ mann's requests except the last, and only after repeated urg­ ing by letter, through Stephen Roth, who was studying theology at Wittenberg, and through other friends did Luther meet Hausmann's hope and plea. Luther sent Hausmann a copy of a pamphlet 011 another subject on November 13. 1523, and in the accompanying letter told him that he would send to him a copy of the form of mass which he proposed for the ttse of the Wittenberg church. This may have been ready for printing at the time of writing this letter, for a few weeks later, on December 4, Luther sent Hausmann a printed copy of the Formula mis­ sae et communionis pro ecclesia Wittembergensi. It reached him 011 December 11, and its arrival moved Hausmann to expressions of gratitude, joy, and satisfaction.

For the mass is retained among us and celebrated with the highest reverence. Practically all the ceremonies that have as a rule been used (usitatae) are preserved, with the exception that here and there German canticles are mixed in with the Latin ones. For, chiefly for this reason is there need of the ceremonies, that they might teach the unlearned. And Paul commands that a language understood by the people be used in the Church. (AC 24.1-4, Lat.)1 It is laid upon our people with injustice that they are supposed to have done away with the mass. For it is well-known that the mass, not to speak boastfully, is held with greater devotion and seriousness among us than among our adversaries….Likewise in the public ceremonies of the mass no notable change has occurred except that in some places 1 “Falso accusantur ecclesiae nostrae, quod missam aboleant.

  • Anniversary Readings from the Lutheran Confessions
    Anniversary Readings from the Lutheran Confessions Worship Resources Responsive Preface Prior to the Lutheran Confessions anniversary reading, you may wish to use these simple responsive verses to prepare your people. Jesus says, “Whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32) Therefore, “I will speak of Your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame.” (Psalm 119:46) Confession and Absolution for the Chorale Service ELH p. 107 outlines “Rite Four, the Lutheran ‘Chorale’ Service.” This outline, adapted from Luther’s Deutsche Messe (1526), suggests using hymn paraphrases and liturgical wording from elsewhere in ELH for the liturgical ordinary. In the interest of integrating Luther’s Small Catechism into the worship service, we have adapted the following form for Confession and Absolution from the Catechism especially for use with this service immediately after the Invocation. This wording is based on An Explanation of Dr. Martin Luther’s Small Catechism (ELS, 2001) p. 23. Confession consists of two parts: one, that we confess our sins; the other, that we receive absolution, or forgiveness, from the pastor or confessor as from God himself, and in no way doubt, but firmly believe that our sins are thereby forgiven before God in heaven. Therefore, let us confess our sins and receive God’s forgiveness. Holy God, I acknowledge that I am guilty of all sins, even those which I do not know about. Before You, O Lord, and before Your representative, I acknowledge those sins which I know and feel in my heart.

  • Prince of Peace Ev. Lutheran Church Traverse City, Michigan
    Luther at the Wartburg PRINCE OF PEACE EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN November 3, 2013 8:30AM/11:00AM WELCOME Thank you for joining us at God’s house this morning. Everyone, please sign the friendship book located in each pew. Restrooms are located in the fellowship hall which is located through the door on the right side of the sanctuary. Parent's Room is located at the far end of the fellowship hall. There is a TV in that room with which you can still follow along with today's service. A changing table is in the women’s restroom. Holy Communion: Each service includes the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. The Bible clearly teaches that the Lord’s Supper is not intended for everyone. Therefore, our church honors the Bible’s teaching of close communion. (1 Co. 11:28-29, 1 Co. 10:16-17, Romans 16:17, 2 Co. 6:14). Only members of this church and our church body are to cele- brate the Lord’s Supper. Visitors are encouraged to speak to the pastor if they have any questions. About Today’s Service: One of the most important “reforms” that Martin Luther made in the life of the Christian church was to clean up the Mass, or the public service of Holy Communion. Today, we follow the general outline of Lu- ther’s Deutsche Messe (the German Mass), including some of the liturgical songs that Luther wrote for the service. As in the medieval Latin mass, Luther began his service with an Entrance Psalm.

  • Manufacturing Discontent: the Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups
    ECIPE OCCASIONAL PAPER • 02/2016 Manufacturing Discontent: The Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups By Matthias Bauer, Senior Economist* *Special thanks to Karen Rudolph (Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg) and Agnieszka Smiatacz (Research Assistant at ECIPE) for research support all along the process of the preparation of this study. ecipe occasional paper — no. 02/2016 ABSTRACT Old beliefs, new symbols, new faces. In 2013, a small group of German green and left- wing activists, professional campaign NGOs and well-established protectionist organisations set up deceptive communication campaigns against TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the United States. Germany’s anti-TTIP NGOs explicitly aimed to take German-centred protests to other European countries. Their reasoning is contradictory and logically inconsistent. Their messages are targeted to serve common sense protectionist demands of generally ill-informed citizens and politicians. Thereby, anti-TTIP communication is based on metaphoric messages and far-fetched myths to effectively evoke citizens’ emotions. Together, these groups dominated over 90 percent of online media reporting on TTIP in Germany. Anti-TTIP protest groups in Germany are not only inventive; they are also resourceful. Based on generous public funding and opaque private donations, green and left-wing political parties, political foundations, clerical and environmental groups, and well-established anti-globalisation organisations maintain influential campaign networks. Protest groups’ activities are coordinated by a number of former and current green and left-wing politicians and political parties that search for anti-establishment political profiles. As Wallon blockage mentality regarding CETA, the trade and investment agreement between the European Union and Canada, demonstrates, Germany’s anti-TTIP groups’ attempts to undermine EU trade policy bear the risk of coming to fruition in other Eurpean countries.

In1987 further research was done on the question of tune authorship and musical style; the material was revised several times in the years that followed. As the 500th anniversary of the Reformation approached, it was brought into its present form. An unexpected insight came from examining the tunes associated with the Luther’s hymn texts: Luther employed several types (styles) of melody. Viewed from later centuries it is easy to lump all his hymn tunes in one category and label them “medieval” hymns. Over the centuries scholars have studied many questions about each melody, especially its origin: did it derive from an existing Gregorian melody or from a preexisting hymn tune or folk song? In studying Luther’s tunes it became clear that he chose melody structures and styles associated with different music-making occasions and groups in society.

    Festival Divine Service for Reformation Day Sunday, October 25, 2020 Wheat Ridge Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wheat Ridge, Colorado will for Germany (and the Church now being reformed with the Gospel) to be overtaken. Reformation Day is set apart for us to thank God for raising up those who faithfully proclaim God’s Word in the face of adversity to protect the Church from threats of all kinds—political or doctrinal, external or internal. Today we especially give thanks for Dr. Martin Luther and the Confessors of the evangelical church who sought to restore the clarity of the Gospel to Christian worship and witness.
